MY HOPES FOR LIVING HISTORY
“My hope for Living History at the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum is to create experiences that challenge what we think we know while connecting us emotionally to the people behind the history.
Through immersive storytelling and historically responsible interpretation, I want audiences to encounter these individuals not simply as names, dates, or historical figures, but as people whose lives, choices, and legacies continue to shape our world.
My goal is to build a program that is artistically engaging, historically responsible, and genuinely meaningful to the communities we serve. Because ultimately, we’re not just bringing history to life.
We’re making sure the lives behind that history are never reduced to a footnote.
History doesn’t belong only behind glass. It belongs in conversation, in community, and in the stories we choose to tell.”
